Volume 1: Arrogance Chapter 61: The Arrival of the Ackerman Family (Gagan)
The silence slowly spread, and just as Bertram was about to say something, an eager voice came from outside the crowd.
"Why are you here?" Looking at the middle-aged man in a tuxedo who crowded in front of him from the crowd, Bertram's face showed undisguised surprise, but the vigilance that flashed in his eyes was not noticed by anyone.
However, instead of answering, the man turned to look at Xiao Yueluo, and there was even a hint of obvious flattery in his smile: "Miss Evelina, please allow the contemptible person to introduce myself, I am the butler of the Earl of Ackerman's palace, my name is Arnold Kent. ”
"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Kent is here to do? If you know my name, you should know who I am, right? ”
Although Xiao Yueluo was a little indifferent to her status in the Empire, it was a good thing in some ways, at least...... It can save a lot of trouble.
"That's nature, that's nature......" Arnold nodded with a smile, as if he didn't feel at all suspicious in the eyes of others.
"Butler Kent, you bow your head to such an inferior woman! The glory of the Duke of Ackerman's palace has been lost to you......"
Bertram was still a little leaky when he spoke, but he didn't know if he was getting used to it or what, after all, it was much better than direct, but before he could finish his words, Arnold looked back and scolded him: "Shut up! What am I doing, you ask? Do you know what you're doing? To tell you the truth, this time the master asked me to come and take you back. I don't want to talk about nonsense, I'll know the results when you get back. ”
After speaking, Arnold turned around and looked at Xiao Yueluo again, and at the same time, his whole face was full of smiles at the moment he turned around: "I'm sorry, Miss made you smile." ”
"It's fine." Xiao Yueluo waved her hand to show a tired look, "Since you will be here to be instructed by Count Ackerman, please go back and tell him that I have never deliberately aimed at the Ackerman family, let alone have any intention of making enemies against anyone. But...... If someone deliberately comes to me or my teacher for trouble, then I will make him understand what it means to be alive and more painful than to die. ”
When Xiao Yueluo said the last sentence, her gaze swept over almost everyone present, and the meaning was self-evident, although some people felt a little dissatisfied with this, but considering Xiao Yueluo's unknown identity that made the count awe-inspired, and the strong evil aura that suddenly erupted around her, she couldn't say anything, after all, sometimes fists are always more effective than reason.
As for Arnold in front of Xiao Yueluo, he also felt the suffocating aura, he had also been on the battlefield, so he was naturally able to distinguish what the thick evil aura meant, and at the same time decided to persuade Count Ackerman to educate Bertram and Benjamin after he went back.
"That's natural, but the master is undoubtedly an enemy of Miss Evelina." Wiping the non-existent cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, Arnold continued to nod his head in agreement.
"Okay, that's it for now, as for that guy...... You also hurry up and take it away. ”
"The contemptible person has thanked Miss Everina for the master first, and the contemptible person will definitely convey the words of the young lady truthfully, please rest assured."
"By the way, there are ......"
Arnold's footsteps as soon as he turned around stopped, and even the three masters and servants who were about to leave on the side also stopped, and turned their heads to look at Xiao Yueluo together.
"Do you have any other commands, Miss Evelina?" Arnold looked at Xiao Yueluo, still smiling?
"For your sake, I'll give you one more word: let Count Ackerman teach his son that the rise and fall of a family is determined by the descendants, and think about what the whole family will be like once he dies."
"Thank you, Miss, for reminding me."
Arnold nodded slightly in thanks to Xiao Yueluo, and at the same time, the corner of his eye glanced at someone who had been in a state of distraction since the beginning, and if it weren't for the two people next to him, he had no doubt that Bertram would have collapsed on the ground.
He sighed helplessly in his heart, but Arnold also knew that there were some things that could not be found here, so he quickly left the door of the blacksmith shop with the other three. As Xiao Yueluo said, the rise and fall of a family can indeed be reflected in the new generation, after all, the lifespan of human beings is only a few decades after all.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
After the four of them left, the surrounding crowd also dispersed one after another, and Xiao Yueluo walked in front of Beard, and her cold voice revealed a trace of nervousness.
"Don't worry, it's just a hairy boy, your teacher and I are not so fragile." Beard smiled, his face full of indifference, and pulled Xiao Yueluo and walked towards the door, "It's you, those words you said at the door before...... It won't affect you, will it? ”
After going through so many things, Beard naturally understands what it means to be terrifying, although more than half of the crowd just now are mercenaries with upright temperaments, but there are also many women who come here to build furniture, if Xiao Yueluo's words just now are spread everywhere by them, in the end, they will definitely reach the ears of some people with a heart and bring unnecessary trouble to the girl in front of them.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since I have my own reason for doing this, you don't have to worry too much, teacher, besides, you don't know my ability?"
"That's right, I was a little anxious just now." Beard nodded, compared to Rita's intelligence since childhood, Xiao Yueluo can be said to be completely grown up by him, and he naturally knows very well how outstanding his ability is.
"It would be nice if the teacher could understand." Xiao Yueluo showed a warm smile, how many times she had thanked Rita in her heart, if it weren't for her, there would be no Xiao Yueluo today, because of Rita's existence, she would meet these people later.
"Okay, let's not talk much about sensationalism, have you brought something?"
Although there was such a question, Beard had already noticed the giant sword that Xiao Yueluo was carrying behind her, and Xiao Yueluo nodded after hearing the inquiry, and skillfully untied the sword from her body with the scabbard and handed it to the person in front of her: "Teacher." ”
"......"
The giant sword slowly pulled out of its scabbard, and when he saw the new sword body, Beard couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you usually take good care of it." ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess naturally doesn't dare to treat it casually."
When she said this, Xiao Yueluo's eyes were full of seriousness, and Beard was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then laughed again: "Yes, it is naturally good that you have this kind of awareness, even if the reason is not the same as most people, but in terms of results...... Your feelings for this greatsword...... Well, it's always a little weird to be called a 'greatsword' all the time. ”
Beard muttered in a low voice, and then said, "Girl, do you have any ideas?" Since it's going to be reforged, let's just give it a name, and I'll engrave it when the reforge is complete. ”
"Sili ......"
After waiting for a while, Belder heard Xiao Yueluo spit out two words softly, but the content made him cry and laugh a little: "I said girl, I can understand your mind and mood, but these two words don't look like sword names, right?" ”
"I know ......"
"Then why are you still ......" Beard frowned and was a little puzzled, although in the eyes of some people, Xiao Yueluo's temperament was more paranoid, but in some respects it was still relatively decent, at least he thought so.
It's just that Xiao Yueluo's current appearance was something he didn't expect, with drooping eyelids and the fist that was clenched and quickly released......
"The name is a title but also a sustenance, although I know that the princess is still alive, but I don't know when I will meet her again......" At this time, Xiao Yueluo's voice couldn't hear half a fluctuation, but the meaning revealed in the words made Beard slightly stunned, "So instead of choosing a meaningless 'name', it is better to leave your mind on it, so that even if there is any accident in the future......
"Phew! What nonsense. Beard pretended to look at Xiao Yueluo with a straight face, his voice was reproachful, but more concerned about it, "In the future, remember not to say such things again." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yueluo replied with a smile, and she also understood that Beard cared about herself, and at the same time, the sadness that had just risen in her heart was also washed away with the appearance of a warm current.
"Okay, since you chose these two words, I won't say anything more, now let's talk about what you want to reforge this sword into."
"It's sharp, and you can't lose too much weight."
"In other words, the attribute of sharpness is added to the original weight......"
"Can't you do it?" Seeing Pheld's frowning brows, Xiao Yueluo was not much surprised. For of all the theories that Helde had taught her, she could not think of any way to do it.
"No, it's not impossible, it's just ......"
"But what? Is there a lack of materials or ......" Xiao Yueluo's tone at this time seemed a little anxious, it is better to have a way than no way, even if the probability is low, you have to try it first to know the result.
"I've only seen that kind of material in ancient books, and as for the real ......," Beard shook his head slightly, and sighed a little helplessly, "It must be unlikely that that kind of magical crystal will appear." ”
"Crystals?" Hearing the second half of the sentence, Xiao Yueluo, who was still a little lost, suddenly had a glint in her eyes, "Can the teacher tell me the name or specific appearance of the crystal?" ”
"It's not impossible, after all, it's what is recorded in books." Beard pondered for a moment as if to sort out his thoughts, "The name of the crystal is Caijing, and the reason why it is called Caijing is also because that crystal has many colors, and another point is that different colors correspond to different properties. ”
"Attributes?"
Xiao Yueluo was slightly stunned, this was the first time she had heard of such a statement.
"Yes, attributes, for example: red crystals correspond to fire attributes, which means that smelting this crystal into a weapon gives the weapon the ability to release flames."
"Isn't that the same kind of magic as that legend?"
Xiao Yueluo's eyes widened, Rao was as calm as she heard this kind of words at this moment, and Beard didn't say anything else when she saw her like this, she just continued to say what she said just now: "Green corresponds to the wood attribute; Blue corresponds to the water attribute, and of course it also has the ability to turn water into ice; As for the soil properties, it is brown; The thunder attribute is black; The wind attribute is light green; And what you want to add to the sharpness is naturally the silver crystal represented by the metallicness. ”
"Teacher ......"
"What's wrong?" Looking at the suddenly frowning brows of the person in front of him, Beard was a little puzzled, and immediately thought about what he said before, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
"What you just said...... Who knows? ”
